My invention relates to improvements in" shades and screens for doors, wlndows, and" mits entrance therethrough at any desired position.

f A further object of my invention'is to pro- Vide a device ofthe typedescribed in which the various portions may be moved or separated at anycdesired position.

A further object of my invention is to pro vide adevice of the type described which is durable in construction and which will last indefinitely. v Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specificatiom'and the novel features of the invention willbe particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

My invention is illustratedin the acc0m panying drawings, forming part of this application, in which i o Figure 1 is a front elevation of my device, Figure 2 is an enlarged detail view'showing the connecting means of the various units, Figure?) is a section along the line 3 3 of Figure 2, and Figures 4, 5, and 6 are views of my device suspended by different means;

In carrying out my invention, I provide a plurality of cylindrical body portions or tubes 1 which may be formed of any suitable material of any desired color. A plurality of connecting members 2 extends through the tubular body portions 1 and is provided witheye- 5 let portions 3 at eachend thereof. The eyelet portions are providedby forming loops in the ends of the members 2. Several of the connecting members are linked together at their eyelets so as to provide relatively long flexible units.

These units are swingably carried by a-supporting member 4' by extending thereyelet portions 3 throughopenings'fi 'provi'dedin the supporting member. The supporting member at may be secured to the-desired frame or support by' any suitable means, such as-nail s, screws, or the like, which maybe passed through openings 6. The supporting member may also besecured in place by *means of, hinges? and 8, as indicated in Figures Land 5. .60

:In Figure 4 the supporting; member 4 is hinged at one end, whereas in Figurefi the supportingmember is composed of-twopieces, each of which is hinged'at its outer end. i

InFigure 6 rings 9 extend' through "the uppermost eyelets of the :units and these rings are disposed concentric with a supporting member orrod 10. A cord ll extends through all of the rings 9 and has one end secured to the farthermost ring. A cord 'l 12 is secured to each of the rings 9 in such a manner as to allow them to be spaced a desired distance apart. With this construction the units may be drawn to one side by drawing downwardly upon the cord 5 11, and the units may be returnedto their closed position by drawing upon the cord 12.

It is obvious that the eyelets 3 are so constructed that the tubular body portions 1 are held against longitudinal displacement. The holding of the body portions 1 in this manner allows the free movement of the units at these various interconnecting positions.

In this manner certain groups of the units maybe tied together or grouped 55 to one side so asto provide an artistic formai the longitudinal axis of the link.

prising a supporting member, a plurality of suspended units secured thereto, said units comprising a plurality of elements provided with looped ends for connection with one another, and a tubular member disposed upon each of said elements and being provided with overlapping yielding Wall portions, the ends of said tubular members being arranged for engagement with said c looped portions for concentrically positioning the tubular elements.

3. In a screen contruction, aconnecting' link having looped ends, and a spirally formed tubular member having yielding,

overlaping edges for receiving said link, the loop portions of said link being larger than the diameterofsaidspirally formed tubular member. 1v i .4; Ina screen construction, a connecting linkhaving looped ends, and a tubular member having a slit side whereby the tubular me'mberm'ay be placed uponthe link, the looped portions of said link being largerthan the diameter of said tubular member for holding the latter in concentric relation with Signed at Chicago, in the county of Cook,
